Binding of antibodies to CMH to the cell surface of sclerotic cells is inhibited by pigmentation. Immunofluorescence analysis using antibodies to CMH demonstrated that antibody reactivity is only observed in cell wall regions in which melanin is poorly expressed. The left panel shows microbial cells observed under differential interferential microscopy. The right panel shows the same cells observed under fluorescence. Bar, 1.2 μm.
